💎 Our verdict on The House on Cold Hill

“
🩸
Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
Peter James crafts a classic British haunted house tale in The House on Cold Hill, following a family that moves into a grand, decaying Georgian mansion outside Brighton with high hopes of restoration. Instead, they encounter an increasingly hostile, unseen presence that turns their dream home into a psychological battleground. The novel builds its dread through slow-burning atmospheric tension, shifting from subtle midnight disturbances to an overwhelming sense of confinement and dread. Rather than relying on graphic shocks, it aims for a classic shiver-inducing supernatural chill. This measured ghost story suits readers who enjoy traditional haunting narratives centered on domestic unease and old houses with dark, lingering histories.
